IANAL, but as was said elsewhere, please don't do that carelessly. It really depends on your local law, but don't go around making fake invoices if you don't have a legal structure. Depending on where you are it would be more or less easy, but don't go exposing yourself. In most countries, those on the receiving end of a (fake) invoice have much less risk than those emitting them.
It's actually the jist of this blog post. They thought they were square, but tax authorities don't understand how open source non profits work, and they made mistake in the structure. So depending on where you are you have to make sure you stay within the law.

Amen. I spent hours telling the inspector what it was we were doing, and why. And in the end, she still asked what our future profits were likely to be. It just didn't register...
